"I was in absolutely no shape to do any running. It was brutal. I could barely hang on for 20, 25 minutes of just walking at a decent clip." - Chris Neil
Chris Neal went from overweight and barely able to walk 25 minutes on a treadmill at age 50, to completing 19 marathons in just 4 years. At 54, he's running all World Marathon Majors. He lost 30 pounds, quit drinking, and transformed his life.
As a member of our Personal Best Running Coaching Program for 2.5 years, Chris built the structure, community, and guidance he needed to succeed. Learn more at https://www.pbprogram.com/
